When I buy my new Champ I invite you to KY lake to teach me how to drive it. I wanna learn all that cool stuff in the video

Took the boat out last week and accidentally did that manuever...not going very fast...but i felt a little G Force, spent 10 minutes trying to do it again

Not so cool at 70 mph!

Y'all don't need to be doing that unless taught by an expert. Another brand claims to be able to do that, but they don't do it WOT!!!

I was taught how to do it back in the day, before the idiot who jumped out of Pat's boat and then sued, caused the demo to be dropped from dealers' repertoires...

I had occasion to use it when a ski boat shot out of a blind curve straight in front of me...with skier in tow! They were darned lucky I knew how to do a bat turn!!!

Iffin you make it back this way Pat make sure to give all us old Champers a holler.

[pmgoffjr]

Iffin I do John, it'll be public knowledge.

What EVERYONE should understand, it's a very violent manuver (breach stop) and it's hard on you, and it's hard on your boat (battery trays especially) to make it a habit. You can and will throw someone out if you're not prepared, and it's a fine line between a breach stop and a spin out, which I *also* demonstrated in the video. Breach stop is a "wheeeee" spin out is a "wheeohcrap" I have sling myself out doing it, and was holding onto the wheel when it happened. 3 G's of force can make you do things you're not expecting.

What I've never done is rolled one, regardless of how stupid I was at the time. I've been with the best there was at Skeeter, and they won't do it, or would I ever ask anyone else to either.

[JLovett]

Like Lea said about dodging a ski boat I bet its a handy manuever in a pinch. But not one to do for fun on a regular basis, still looks cool though.

[Derwood]

Can I do that move in my fishunter?

[SteveDyer]

Breech stops are definatley hard on everything....I was sore for a week.
